title: Demonstration of permanent porosity in flexible and guest-responsive organic zeolite analogs (now called MOFs).
abstract: In the late 1990s rigorous proof of coordination polymer framework or MOF integrity in the absence of guest molecules still needed to be developed. A study by Kepert and Rosseinsky presented X-ray crystal structure refinements as one of the first definitive demonstrations of the retention of structural integrity of a porous coordination polymer framework upon complete desolvation and guest re-adsorption.
